Whites aren’t joining the United States Army, and the largest of the services fell 15 percent short of its recruiting goal last year.
The latest from Military.com, based on internal Pentagon data, alarms the military and lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Reasons abound for the lack of white recruits, one of them being “conservative” parents, officials say, who keep trashing the “woke” military. That’s one explanation. Another might be that Traitor Joe Biden began waging war on the military the day he took office.
In other words, the military is “woke.” And maybe white Christian boys aren’t much interested in having “diversity” propaganda shoved down their throats or serving with mentally ill men who pretend to be women.
The Numbers
“The shift in demographics for incoming recruits would be irrelevant to war planners, except it coincides with an overall shortfall of about 10,000 recruits for the Army in 2023 as the service missed its target of 65,000 new soldiers,” the website reported:
44,042 new Army recruits were categorized by the service as white in 2018, but that number has fallen consistently each year to a low of 25,070 in 2023, with a 6% dip from 2022 to 2023 being the most significant drop. No other demographic group has seen such a precipitous decline, though there have been ups and downs from year to year.
Since 2018, the website reported, recruiting among whites has nosedived. Five years ago, a majority of recruits, 56.4 percent, were white. By last year, just 44 percent were. As well, black recruits jumped from 20 to 24 percent, and Hispanic recruits from 17 percent to 24 percent, even though recruiting has stalled.

Biden is still managing to kill thousands of straight white males in Ukraine.
The plan is illegal immigrant military “volunteers”.
Enlisting with the idea that your promotion will not be gauged on competence or ability, but rather on a DEI quota and the bias against Caucasians is a good reason to find a career elsewhere.
The old question — “would the US military fire on rebellious US citizens?”
Oh, that answer is very clear today.
I’m retired military and tell young folks to avoid military service.
Just too much ‘wrong’ with it these days and on too many levels.
It’s good they are getting less white recruits. You’d have to be a fool to sign up for the military these days.
The military blames conservatives criticizing the military for low white recruitments.
Disney blames sexist and racist men for criticizing their movies for low box office.
They both want to eliminate criticism as opposed to accepting blame. They just want everyone to bow down to their masters.
Sorry, we can only accept as an answer either Wade Hampton or Braxton Bragg, not a mixture of both.
“I’m retired military and tell young folks to avoid military service. Just too much ‘wrong’ with it these days and on too many levels.”
Same for me. I had a great career and would do it again...if I could go back in time. No way would I work today for the swamp set of low-life marshmallow major leftist losers without an IQ point to share amongst them.
“The plan is illegal immigrant military “volunteers”.
I believe the Romans tried that.
“Disney blames sexist and racist men for criticizing their movies for low box office.”
“It’s not our fault, it’s cause of Kathleen Kennedy”
“But then Kathleen Kennedy is like, “F–k it! Make it more lame!”, And everyone in town is like “No, please, Kathleen Kennedy, stop ruining everything!”, but Kathleen Kennedy is all like, “Put another gay diverse woman in it! Make it more f–king lame!”
“And Disney stock just keeps going down and down and down! And then Bob Iger is all like, ‘No! No! What’s going on with my stocks! No, Kathleen Kennedy!’”

They’ll stick around for the money and as soon as they get deployed they’ll disappear
Not if they werew sent by enemy governments.
That's the problem with a system that eliminates responsibility for performance (i.e., merit), it eliminates responsibility for one's actions...and eliminates maturity and integrity.
Seems like straight white males don’t want to fight and die to preserve the constitutional right of the teachers’ union to put sanitary napkins in the boy’s restroom.
And no one knows why.
and that will pretty much end out military. Might as well stand up an army of mall cops, be just as good.
I find it hard to believe recruitment is not down 50% or more, considering what these corrupt people in government have done to Trump, the border, the economy, endless wars, looting the America treasure of trillions, the lies, deceit on and on..
